I was reading the newest KBR forum article earlier, and came across a sentence that got me thinking.  And was journal-worthy, obviously. ;-)  The guest writer was writing about Thanksgiving, as it's coming up later this month, and how thanksgiving should be a part of our every day.  About choosing to be thankful and letting God know about it, whether the feelings are there or not.  And then, "through thanksgiving, we are choosing to see God's hand in our everyday life. The excited, upturned face of a child, the crunch of crimson and gold leaves under feet, the breaths we take each moment; all of these are windows to see the LORD. This is His Handiwork, His Creation. When we notice these things with thankful hearts, we are choosing to see Him."   Isn't that good?  It pleases the Lord when we notice all the good things He's placed around us, and choosing thankfulness is choosing to see Him.  Pride, or not wanting to acknowledge and honor God, is pretty much the root problem of all sin - and that's what it is when we don't want to acknowledge Him in our everyday lives!

Lord, help me to choose to be thankful. Help to choose to see you!

“God is God. … He is worthy of my worship and my service. I will find rest nowhere but in His will, and that will is … unspeakably beyond my largest notions of what He is up to.”

Charles Spurgeon, on 2 Timothy 1:9... "Those whom the Saviour saved on the cross are in due time effectively called by the power of God the Holy Spirit to holiness. They leave their sins, and they endeavor to be like Christ. They choose holiness, not out of any compulsion, but from the influence of a new nature, which leads them to     rejoice in holiness       just as naturally    as before they delighted in sin. God neither chose them nor called them because they were holy, but He called them so that they might be holy, and holiness is the beauty produced by His workmanship in them. The Christlike qualities that we see in a believer are as much the work of God as the Atonement itself.  Thus the fullness of the grace of God is brought out very sweetly... The believer's privilege is a present salvation; the evidence that he is called to it is his holy life."

the simplest of notions can put my heart at so much peace as I think about it's truth.  Bekah told me: Just STOP. Live like you are the branch on a vine... not the vine itself, Anna.   That's not what you are. I'm just a branch.  There is only one life-giving vine, and it's trying to fill me and give me what I need to thrive. I can't thrive, much less breath   all on my own.  There is only one life-giving vine, and it's not me. praise you, Lord.  Precious Lord, YOU are my vine <3  Make my heart the soft, tender heart of a child to rest in YOUR life-giving!
